PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DEVICES (5136)
Students may use personal communication devices (PCDs) before and after
school, during their lunch break, in between classes as long as they do not
create a distraction, disruption or otherwise interfere with the educational
environment, during after school activities (e.g., extra-curricular activities), and
at school-related functions.
Technology including, but not limited to, PCDs intended and actually used for
instructional purposes (e.g., taking notes, recording classroom lectures, writing
papers) will be permitted, as approved by the classroom teacher or the building
principal.
For purposes of this policy, “personal communication device” includes
computers, tablets (e.g., iPads and similar devices), electronic readers (“e-
readers”; e.g. Kindles and similar devices), cell phones (e.g., mobile/cellular
telephones, smartphones (e.g., BlackBerry, iPhone, Android devices, Windows
Mobile devices, etc.)), and telephone paging devices (e.g., beepers or pagers).
Students may not use PCDs on school property or at a school-sponsored
activity to access and/or view Internet web sites that are otherwise blocked to
students at school. Students may use PCDs while riding to and from school on
a school bus or other Board-provided vehicles or on a school bus or Board-
provided vehicle during school-sponsored activities, at the discretion of the bus
driver, classroom teacher, or sponsor/advisor/coach. Distracting behavior that
creates an unsafe environment will not be tolerated.
Also, during after school activities, PCDs shall be powered completely off (not
just placed into vibrate or silent mode) and stored out of sight when directed by
the administrator or sponsor.
Under certain circumstances, a student may keep his/her PCD “On” with prior
approval from the building principal.
Except as authorized by a teacher, administrator or IEP team, students are
prohibited from using PCDs during the school day, including while off-campus
on a field trip, to capture, record and/or transmit the words or sounds (i.e.,
audio) and/or images (i.e., pictures/video) of any student, staff member or
other person. Using a PCD to capture, record and/or transmit audio and/or
pictures/video of an individual without proper consent is considered an
invasion of privacy and is not permitted. Students who violate this provision
